A slow and painful death from sepsis followed, and many believe it was foretold by Nostradamus. The quatrain in question tells us 'the young lion will overcome the older one', that he will 'pierce his eyes through a golden cage', and that 'two wounds' will ensure a 'cruel death'. Although critics have pointed out the quatrain also says the killing occurs 'on the field of combat in a single battle', while Henry was accidentally slain during a playful joust.
As ever with Nostradamus, ambiguities make it hard to be definitive. The Great Fire was set off by a flame in a bakery, not by 'lightning', and what does the 'ancient lady' signify?
Perhaps London itself? Nostradamus has been credited with quite a few 20th Century predictions, and the rise of Adolf Hitler is often cited as one of them. And, to be fair, his writings do provoke a slight chill of recognition.
And what does this child do? The young lion will overcome the old On the field of battle in single combat: He put out his eyes in a cage of gold: Two fleets one, then to die a cruel death. His prophecies were not always so pandering. He told Catherine that all four of her sons would live to be king, which sounds good until one realizes that this means the first three were headed for early deaths. He went on to predict that one day her entire line would be extinct, the seeming accuracy of the forecast providing cold comfort when her favorite daughter Elizabeth died in childbirth a few years later.
If his quatrains could not stop all of this, at least she could take comfort in knowing that there was some larger order governing this chaos. N ostradamus was a voice for his times. He spoke of wars, famines, dynasties falling, and the world ending, and after his death in from dropsy, his writings would continue to reappear in times of similar calamity.
It is in times of great national uncertainty that editions and translations of his work are most numerous: England in the seventeenth century, and France again at the end of the eighteenth, when Nostradamus was touted as having already predicted the French Revolution.
The less a man knows about the past and the present, the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future. When Napoleon came to power a few years later, the prophet was once again consulted, and commentators turned to quatrain VIII.
It contained an interpretation of quatrain III. Add all this up, and you get some sort of bloodshed involving Britain, France, Germany, and Poland, happening sometime in Kritzinger in his Mysteries of the Sun and Soul, published a year later, and still in print by September when Hitler invaded Poland. De Wohl produced a German-language book, Nostradamus Predicts the Course of the War, which claimed to be based on a secret Nostradamus manuscript recently discovered in Regensburg.
Naked, taken unawares without his armor, he succumbs. Meanwhile, Hollywood also got in on the act; after the United States entered the war, MGM began producing a series of short morale-boosting films, the first of which was titled Nostradamus Says So. This war of prophecy was not without its own casualties: when the Nazi party leader Rudolf Hess fled from Germany to Scotland in to attempt in secret to make peace with the British, his defection was blamed on the undue influences of occultists, and Krafft was made the fall guy—arrested and sent to Buchenwald, he died along the way from Typhus.
In particular, the believers have been working to puzzle out this quatrain:. Mabus then soon will die; there will come Of man and beast a horrible defeat. We think this is very good news, since it means the world may not have to end after all.
